Two former Tesla employees allegedly leaked 75,000 people's social security numbers and other personal information to a German news outlet.
An investigation into the data breach “revealed that two former Tesla employees had misappropriated the information in violation of Tesla’s IT security and data protection policies and shared it with the media outlet,” Steven Elentukh, Tesla’s data privacy officer, wrote in the notice.
Tesla said it has seized the former employees’ electronic devices believed to be used in the data breach and could still contain the information. Tesla added that it “also obtained court orders that prohibit the former employees from further use, access, or dissemination of the data, subject to criminal penalties. Tesla cooperated with law enforcement and external forensics experts and will continue to take appropriate steps as necessary.
